When it comes to Wheel bearings, pay the money and get the best ones you can. It's not a part you want to swap out for a "value" replacement.
They are easily swapped out (at least the front ones are). If you're handy, dive into it. If the not, source out a local shop (not the dealer) that specializes in MB and BMW. If you're in WPG I can reach out to the specialist I use in Calgary and perhaps he can refer one.
Good luck
On the contrary Crossfire parts frim Chrysler are the same part from Mercedes but given a hefry mark up.
Anyway if you get the part number from a wheel bearing and use that number at a bearing sales outlet and buy a good brand it will be just as good as a dealer sourced bearing and cheaper. Different makers have different numbers for the same bearing but the sizes are what is used to determine your bearing and they are all made to the same sizes and accuracy for the same bearing class. Just don't buy a cheap Chinese bearing.
